Beach Warning Flags

During dangerous surf conditions, red "No Swimming" flags fly at beach entrances. Whenever red flags are flying, swimming is prohibited. At such times, ocean conditions have been determined to be unsafe and swimmers are at serious risk of injury or death if they enter the water. For your safety, please heed all red flag warnings.

Ocean Safety

• Stay alert to common beach hazards. Rip currents, submerged objects, sand bar drop-offs, and jellyfish are just some hazards that you could encounter. Keep an eye on family and friends, including children.
• Be aware of your surroundings before you enter the water. Avoid swimming near fishing piers and in areas where people are fishing, avoid areas where schools of fish are active, don’t wear or take jewelry or shiny objects into the water, and stay out of the water if you are bleeding or have open sores.
• It is strongly recommended that all kayakers wear life jackets.
• All surfers must be tethered to their boards.
• Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, Southern Shores, Duck and Corolla (including the 4x4 beaches) do not allow personal motorized watercraft (PWC) on the ocean. Nags Head allows PWCs on the ocean, however, PWC launch restrictions apply. Please contact the town of Nags Head at (252) 441-5508 for more details.

Rip Currents

Rip currents are fast-moving currents of water that can quickly pull even the strongest swimmers away from the shore. Since the current flows under water, it’s important to know the signs of a rip current and avoid the water in that area.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), indicators of rip currents include:

• A channel of churning, choppy water.
• Notable differences in water color.
• Lines of foam, seaweed or debris moving steadily seaward.
• A break in the incoming wave pattern.

Be sure to read lifeguard stand signs when arriving at the beach. If you see warning signs of rip currents or moderate or high hazard flags, stay out of the water and alert others to do the same. If caught in a rip current, you should stay calm to conserve energy. Don’t try to fight the current. Instead, swim with the current, and swim toward shore once you’re out of the current.

General Beach Safety

• Before choosing your spot on the beach, check to be sure you will not hinder the performance of lifeguards during an emergency situation. Maintain a clear path along the dune line for patrol units and in front of stationary lifeguard stands.
• Refill all holes dug in the sand before leaving the beach area. Open holes are a safety concern for emergency response vehicles.
• Tents and personal items left on the beach overnight and should not obstruct traffic or pedestrian movement during the day. They should be removed by 5:00 pm in Southern Shores, by 7:00 pm in Duck, Kill Devil Hills, and Nags Head and by sunset in Corolla and the 4x4 area. Personal items must be removed daily, or they may be removed as litter. Unattended items that have been removed will not be returned.
• All dunes are off limits. The dunes are home to nesting turtles and vegetation specific to our area. Additionally, dunes protect homes from flooding during a storm surge.
• Do not leave trash on the beach.
• Beach bonfires are strictly prohibited in Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, Southern Shores, Duck, and Corolla (including the 4x4 beaches). Beach pit fires are allowed on the beach in Nags Head with a permit. For more information, contact Nags Head Fire and Rescue at (252) 441-5909.
• ATVs are not permitted for non-residents.
• Fireworks are strictly prohibited on the Outer Banks.
• It is illegal to launch sky lanterns, commonly known as Chinese lanterns, on the 4x4 beaches, in Corolla, Duck, Southern Shores, Kill Devil Hills, or Nags Head.

The fun begins where the road ends on this unique stretch of Outer Banks shoreline just south of the Virginia border. A four-wheel drive vehicle and an adventurous spirit are required to explore this beach community, where there are no paved roads, no hotels or restaurants, not even a convenience store! What you’ll find is an uncomplicated, fourteen-mile expanse of wide, sandy beaches, dense maritime forests and marshy soundside coves.

Home to the Corolla wild horses, the possibility of catching a glimpse of these extraordinary creatures is practically commonplace. Keep in mind, they are wild - do not approach them. County ordinance states that you may not come within 50 feet of the horses at any time. Feeding, riding or petting a wild horse is prohibited. A wild horse sighting is always an exciting event, but please remember to use caution and keep your distance.

There are no fixed lifeguard stands on the 4x4 beaches. Three roving lifeguards patrol from the end of the road to the Virginia state line from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm from Memorial Day through Labor Day.

Keep the following tips in mind for an extraordinary 4x4 beach experience that is second to none:

• A 4-wheel drive (4WD) vehicle is required. All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicles are not recommended due to low ground clearance.
• Always arrive before dark because the beach is more difficult to navigate at night.
• Bring a tire-pressure gauge. We recommend lowering your tire pressure to 18-20 psi. Free air hoses are available in Twiddy’s Corolla office parking lot to re-inflate your tires.
• Check area tide charts prior to arrival. Low tide is ideal for beach driving. Tide charts are available at Twiddy’s Corolla office.
• Avoid driving through the surf, as salt water is extremely corrosive.
• Follow all posted speed limits (35 mph or 15 mph when within 300 feet of pedestrians or wild horses).
• Watch for children, pets, and parked vehicles while driving on the 4x4 beaches. Look out for tree stumps sticking out as well. Cedar and live oak stumps from an ancient maritime forest make their appearance on the beach during certain times of the year.
• Avoid driving through standing water on the back roads. If you encounter areas of standing water, carefully drive around the edge of the puddles or seek an alternate route to reach your destination.
• Drive on the hard-packed sand near the edge of the water or close to the dunes. Keep the middle of the beach open for parked vehicles and beachgoers.
• All parked vehicles should be in the middle of the beach (east of the dune line and west of the hard-packed sand near the water's edge). Do not block the flow of traffic with chairs, coolers, fishing lines or other items.
• Always be alert for moving vehicles when walking across the hard-packed sand.
• No vehicle of any type may park or unload at the North Beach Access at any time. You must park or unload past the 1/2-mile mark. VIOLATORS WILL BE TOWED.
• Drivers must be 16 years of age and possess a valid driver’s license.
• ATVs are NOT permitted by non-residents.
• Currituck County does not allow personal motorized watercraft on the ocean. Jet skis and personal motorboats are allowed on the Currituck Sound. The closest boat ramp is located at Whalehead in Historic Corolla Park.

Corolla’s pristine beaches are wide with soft sand. Upon crossing the beach access over the dune line to the beach, you will find that the beach is relatively flat, which is ideal terrain for afternoon strolls.
